32、t one model of sound calibrator, conforming to the requirements of IEC 60942 be specified in the instruction manual for checking and maintaining the correct indication on the display of the sound level meter at the calibration check frequency. The sound level meter manufacturer specifies the adjustm
33、ent value to be applied to obtain the required indication on the display in response to the sound pressure level generated by the sound calibrator, in order to optimize performance over the complete frequency range. In addition, various corrections need to be available over a range of frequencies in
34、 order for a periodic test of a sound level meter to be performed according to IEC 61672-3. For example, corrections are needed for any effects of the sound level meter case or of accessories such as windscreens on the equivalent free-field sound level. Information on these corrections is also requi
35、red by users of sound level meters and sound calibrators on a regular basis. Also, a manufacturer producing a sound level meter to the specifications of IEC 61672-1, may recommend, in the instruction manual, the use of a sound calibrator, comparison coupler or electrostatic actuator to determine the
36、 acoustical response of a sound level meter at various frequencies. In this case the manufacturer is required to provide corrections to obtain equivalent sound levels that would be displayed under reference environmental conditions in response to plane progressive sinusoidal waves that are incident
37、from the reference direction at each frequency used for periodic testing. These corrections will either be given in the instruction manual, or the instruction manual will state where they can be found.

38、REE-FIELD RESPONSE OF A SOUND LEVEL METER 1 Scope This International Standard provides information on the corrections required over a range of frequencies in order for a periodic test of a sound level meter to be performed according to IEC 61672-3. These corrections include: corrections for the typi
39、cal effects of reflections from the case of the sound level meter and diffraction of sound around the microphone; corrections for the deviation of the typical microphone frequency response from a uniform frequency response, where the actual microphone response cannot be measured; corrections for the
40、 influence on the frequency response of a typical microphone of a specified windscreen and any other accessory that is part of the configuration for normal use of the particular sound level meter submitted for testing. This International Standard includes discussion about uncertainties of measuremen
41、t of the required corrections. In some instances a maximum permitted expanded uncertainty for the manufacturer or testing laboratory is given. This maximum permitted expanded uncertainty excludes any component due to the variability of different samples of artefact (for example, microphone or windsc
42、reen). It should be noted that if large uncertainties of measurement are quoted for each of the individual corrections, when they are combined to account for the configuration of sound level meter under test, the large individual uncertainties may result in a failure to conform to the maximum permit
43、ted expanded uncertainties of measurement given in Table A.1 of IEC 61672-1:1and hence a failure of the sound level meter to conform to IEC 61672-1 In addition, this International Standard describes methods for determining these corrections, over the frequency range of interest, and explains the adj
44、ustment value at the calibration check frequency to be quoted by the manufacturer of the sound level meter (also required by IEC 61672-3). When the sound level meter manufacturer recommends the use of a sound calibrator, comparison coupler, or an electrostatic actuator for periodic testing of the ac
45、oustical response of a sound level meter at various frequencies, this International Standard describes methods of measurement of the corrections required to adjust the indication on the sound level meter to an equivalent free-field level, over the frequency range of interest. These corrections relat
46、e to a specific model of sound calibrator, comparison coupler or electrostatic actuator, microphone and sound level meter (also required by IEC 61672-3). The aim of this International Standard is to ensure that the adjustment value at the calibration check frequency and all corrections are determine
47、d using consistent and appropriate methods. It is intended that this International Standard will be used by manufacturers to determine adjustment values and corrections, by laboratories performing pattern evaluation tests according to IEC 61672-2, and by laboratories performing periodic tests accord
48、ing to IEC 61672-3. Laboratories performing periodic tests according to IEC 61672-3 will also need to consult this International Standard to ensure that the expanded uncertainties of _ 1Second edition to be published.

The corrections obtained by use of the methods given in this International Standard are the result of measurements made using samples of the devices. It is possible that these corrections may not be totally representative either for all batches produced or over time. Repeating the measurements at regular intervals is recommended to ensure that no changes are required to the corrections stated in the in
